Coach Talk

JT CITY
Good job assembling a lineup that produced 208.5 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Tigers, and continue pushing forward to the FANTASY FOOTBALL 2018 league title.
Tigers
Yo, Tigers, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing only 17 targets combined this past week, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
